The '''Reviving Spell'''<ref name="Sch">[http://harrypotter.scholastic.com/glossary/ Scholastic - Harry Potter Glossary]</ref> (''Rennervate'') is the [[counter-spell]] to the [[Stunning Spell]]. It is used to bring Stunned individuals back to consciousness. It will not work against certain kinds of [[Dark Arts|Dark magic]], for instance, the effects of the [[Drink of Despair]]. ''Rennervate'' is also useless for resurrecting the deceased.

This spell is accompanied by a flash of brilliantly coloured red light<ref name="HBP26"/>.

This can be used to counteract a single [[Stunning Spell]], although it is ineffective against multiple Stunners hitting an individual<ref name="OP32">{{OOTP}} - Chapter 32 (''Out of the Fire'')</ref>. It's also ineffective against [[Dark Magic]] such as the [[Drink of Despair]]<ref name="HBP26"/>.
